You can order carside or go inside

This place is like driving back in time without a Delorian. Everything looks old and original but that's why we loved it. Their record player that plays the music even skipped at one point and it brought me back to old times.It wasn't very busy at lunch on a Saturday. I wish it was busier for the businesses sake but it was nice not having to fight a crowd. We all enjoyed our delicious food and ate at a bench near the drive in spot.There are plenty of parking spaces if you don't want to order through the drive in but we liked that nostalgia. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

We were on our way to the brewery across the street on a Saturday around noon, and decided to stop here!You can order inside or at one of the many "drive up" stations. I'll be honest, we were too intimidated to use the drive up stations hahaha.We ordered two "pizza burgers", fries and a drink. To our surprise, the pizza burgers were just cheese stuffed chicken patties haha. Maybe we're uncultured, but that was surprising haha. Nonetheless they were pretty tasty but nothing to write home about. Prices were fine, but definitely not "a bargin". The staff was all young and a bit overwhelmed, but it didn't take too long to get our food. We sat at a picnic table which got a little cold haha, but otherwise enjoyable.Overall it's cool to see that one of these still exists. I probably won't be back, but it's worth a visit if you're in the area.

This is the cutest drive-in! They have their own homemade root beer, too! We brought the kids and couldn't believe how reasonable the price was for kids meals! $7 for a cheeseburger, fries or onion rings, a drink, and an ice cream cone! We definitely will be back. You can choose to order and eat in your car or you can order inside and eat at one of their picnic tables. Super casual, next to the biking and walking path, across from the lake! Service was fast as well

Love this place. Corn dogs, cones, root beer floats, fries. It's great to go on Thursday evenings for classic car night. Unfortunately the high school staff leaves and it closes after Labor Day. It was a great season. A shout out to the entire staff for amazing service in a fun environment.

A few Saturdays ago my wife and I arrived around 2:30, about 10 vehicles were there, very well staffed for a seasonal drive-in, long time owner Dave and his family are great friendly people, we ordered 1 double cheeseburger, 1 order of onion rings and 2 shakes to split, total was $33 or so, we left a $5 tip in the bucket but we did have a sticker price reality check and we sat down and ate at a very sticky picnic table, all in all you're trying to enjoy the experience but this sort of failed as we pondered future visits

The food came out quick. Service was friendly. Everything was perfect as ordered, onion rings were highlight of the meal. Burgers are solid and fries are piping hot. Their ice cream is not too sweet perfect after the meal. Seating outside was plenty and it's dog friendly . Definitely will be back .

FAVORITE PLACE!!! The Minnetonka drive in has been recognized throughout Minnesota, and for a good reason! They have quite a few homemade items such as onion rings, root beer, chili (seasonal), coleslaw, bbq sauce, creamy sriracha sauce, and house made shakes/malts! Their fried chicken is amazing paired with French fries, coleslaw, and toast. I truly love everything from the Minnetonka Drive in. My favorite "not so typical" meal is the gyro (you can even sub chicken if you don't like beef/lamb). The servers are young, but this provides for a lively and nice experience. You can sit in your car and order, sit at a picnic table, or drive through. My favorite time to get a burger and fries is in the middle of a lake day. Grab some food and head right back out to the lake! THURSDAY NIGHTS: hot rod night! Get a root beer, fries, and burger (either California or Minnetonka twin) for a set price. Walk around and look at all the cool cars. If you are lucky you might get to talk to Dave or Deb the owners!

Great place but why do you close for the season so early? Fall is a perfect time to cruise around the lake.

The food was ok at best. I felt it was over priced for what I ordered. I asked for cheese on my sandwiched I was charged but never received it. This was my first time here. I don't think I'll return.
